This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

There's the worst singer in the group. The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, uh, you only got in because your parents made a huge donation. The yard birds, right? That's the name.

The Harvard Yard, but they're open. Do you have a name suggestion? We're open. Since you guys are middle age, one erection. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Humor me. I need some jokes to make me seem funny.

And we've got a brand new live video up of one of our second dates today. And it's Taco Tuesday. That's three things. Well, I wasn't going to put that in there because it's not really our thing.

But I adopted is our thing. Yeah. Yeah. But I do like to promote it as well. Oh, eat tacos, then go to Brooke and Jeffrey YouTube. Make sure you subscribe there. And stick around for this brand new episode right now. Do we want to get in comments right now?

I got to say Elijah Weiner said on one of our second dates, I won't listen to this one. I will wait for the video version to come out first. And Elijah? You know what? Some people may want to see it rather than just listen. You waited weeks and now one is up for you. I hope it's the one you were hoping for.

I hope so too. I have text back next week. Wait a minute. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Your brand new episode starts right now. Show of hands in the room.

Who here has been held for ransom? Not me. What? How about kidnapped? No. You're holding your hand up. Is that count? No, I think he just wants us to put up.

No. I mean, I was by choice. No. That's not kidnapping. No. When you asked for it. No, I paid. I paid for it.

Oh, God. So you didn't know what it was happening, but you knew it was going to have. I knew what was happening. But the henchmen honestly weren't quite what I was hoping to get. So I did ask for a partial refund. Too soft of him. Yes. But the reason I bring it up is because we're dealing with a less serious emergency experience.

Okay. Involving one of our listeners who says he is stuck in a foreign country. What? And the only person who can help him won't answer her phone. Oh. And even worse, it's his girlfriend. Yikes. So we're going to try to step in and help in a special international version of the awkward Tuesday.

phone call right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We got an emergency email this morning from the Great White North. And it wasn't... Can you explain that for people that don't know? It's not a Game of Thrones reference.

No, it's from Canada. The thing is, it wasn't from an actual Canadian. It's an American named Corey who says he's stuck. In Canada? In Canada? I really don't know a lot of the details. here. So Corey, from here on out, Brooke is going to be your official hostage negotiator. So, Brooke, go for it. I mean, I'd maybe just stay. Yeah. It is a very lovely country. Honestly, it could be better.

Corey, welcome to the show, man. Hi, thanks. Yeah, believe me, I'm considering just staying up here, but I would like some help before I do that. Okay. Okay. What's going on? What made you email the show for help? You said that you're in kind of a desperate situation. Should you be talking to the U.S. embassy. Not yet. Not yet. Oh, gosh. I have a long-distance girlfriend.

Her name is Sage. I guess I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada, but she's real. I swear. It does sound like a minute story. When you say she's real, I swear, you've touched her skin before. Yes. That's a weird way to phrase it. I don't know.

It's not a catfish. But you can't say I've seen someone because you don't know. I have seen her in the flesh. She recently just stayed with me for a month. Okay. She's totally real. Oh, cool. So she stayed with you.

It was very recently she came to visit with me. Okay. I'm sorry. Tell me her name again. Sorry, her name is Sage. Okay. You're going to have to say it seven more times throughout the course of this call, so Brooke really remembers. No, I can smell her now because her name.

Oh, there we go. Now she's got a word association. So you said recently Sage stayed with you for a month. She stayed with me for a month. It was really nice. We went out to restaurants. We saw some sporting events. It was like we were regular dating.

It was really nice. Did you do some of that skin touching? that Brooke was talking about. Wow. Important that you got to get a lot of that in because you're going to be not doing it for a minute. Actually, yeah. I had to make up for lost time.

Okay, good for you. But I missed her when she went back home. Yeah. So I decided that I wanted to surprise her and I booked a flight the next day to her hometown. Wait, the next day? Like the day she left and the next day you booked a surprise flight to see her. I did.

Oh, so I go right as she's going to go. She's not going to expect you to just, boom, be right there. Maybe she needed a break after a whole month. Yeah. Some people would call you clingy, but not us. We think it's romantic. I appreciate your support, guys. Yeah.

Okay. Well, yeah, it's a nice gesture. So you flew to Canada. I flew to Canada and I go to her apartment. Yeah. And there's no answer. She's not home. Oh, well, she's not expecting you.

Yeah, if you didn't tell her. Right. So it's fine. I hang around for a few hours and she never came back. So eventually I just went to a coffee shop and I... Wait, did you not, like, call her during this time and just randomly be like, hey, what's you doing? Yeah. Well, eventually I did, right?

So, like, after a while, I texted her and I said, hey, what are you up to? Like, I didn't say that I was in Canada. Yeah. She could be like, I'm out with a friend and you're like, oh, that's why. Or yeah, I'm on a weekend get away with my mom. Oh, yeah, exactly. Sure, sure, but she didn't even answer. Didn't text me back.

Oh, wait. Well, but it's Canada. There's a lot of spotty cell service. Yeah. All right, so she's not answering your texts. She's not, and then I tried calling. She's also not picking up the phone. So I went back to her place, and I saw a light on in the window,

and I ring the doorbell, and then the light went off. Oh. Oh, she didn't pay her electric bill. Oh, no. The ding on the doorbell was the last one of the electricity. Okay, wait. Is this an apartment where you can walk straight up to her door, or are you buzzing in at the front? Oh, like at the gate or at the concierge?

These are the important details that we're like investigated. I'll tell you why I think it's important, because I want to know if she can see that you're out there. Like, did she see you and then flip the light off? Because if I don't see who's at my door, I'm shot off my lights and pretending I'm not home too. Totally. Okay. Well, that's what I'm wondering is if she saw me, like, on a ring cam or like a camera I didn't see or something.

Like, I'm wondering if she's avoiding me. Wait. Like, I just don't know what's going on. So you're still there? I'm still here. Outside her apartment right now? Yeah, well, I'm not outside. No, I'm not.

But, like, I'm here. I'm in Canada. And it's getting to the point where I just need to, like, get a hold of her and find out what's going on. How many times have you tried to call her? Like, I've tried to call her three or four times. And that never happens. Like, it never happens that she just doesn't answer.

We always answer each other. Yeah, or a quick text. Like, I'm busy. I'll call you in a little bit. You are so calm. I mean, I know she didn't know that you were coming in. But if I was in your position, I would be mad. Dude.

And you must have so many thoughts going through your head, like mad and sad. What are you feeling? Yeah. I'm more confused right now. Yeah. And I just now want to know what is happening. Clearly something is up because she's acting, not even acting at all, not even responding to you. What is she getting to awesome on?

finally home in my own bed sleep. You know when you're on vacation for a while and you finally get back to your own bed? You go into like hibernation mode for two weeks. I'm just crossing my fingers for an automatic light timers. Yeah. Yeah. Well, whatever it is, we need to figure out a way to get you some answers or you'll be stuck in Canada for no reason. You're Canadian.

I think he can go home. I don't think so. Oh, okay. I've heard it's like a prison, but I don't know. This is like an international negotiation. Anyway, we need to think of some advice to give you. you if we can get your girlfriend to answer the phone so you can figure out what is going on with your long-distance boo when we come back and do your awkward Tuesday phone call in Canada

right after this. Hold on. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've got Corey on the phone who is making a long-distance call from Canada as we speak. So let's make sure we drag this out as long as possible. We'll wrap that cell phone bill. I think it's usually free between when you travel back and forth. Is that what your cell phone company told you? It is. Is that not the case? No, you're good.

You're good, my man. You're good. You're good. You should be fine. We'll see. This is what we know. Corey is an American. His long-distance Canadian girlfriend, Sage, stayed with him for a month recently,

and he had such a great time that the day after she went home, Corey hopped on a plane to go surprise her. in her hometown. Yeah. So he's there right now. Been to her place several times. She's not answering the door. But she is turning the light off.

On and then off as soon as the doorbell rings. So that's a little suspicious. And now she won't even pick up his calls or his texts. So something is definitely up. And we never really discussed this in the first part. But how many of us in the back of their minds thought she could be cheating? I mean, she has a Canadian boyfriend. And Corey is her hot, young American sidepiece below the border.

That's what I thought, but I project from the thousands and thousands of second dates I heard. Oh, she's definitely got something that's up. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I need a break from him after a month, like we said. I mean, if it's area codes, why not country codes? Yeah.

Different pros and country codes, yeah. You guys are making me worried. I'm getting really nervous. How are you not already jumbed to that conclusion? Well, I am. Look, I'm already nervous, but I don't know. I guess I just never considered that she might have another guy. Another life.

Well, that's good. Well, we don't want to put you like not at ease here. We want to help you. So we need to give you some advice. Brooke, what do you think he needs to keep in mind? Well, everything we just brought up, I want you to ignore. Oh, wrong. Okay.

No, because the thing is, it's like, yeah, maybe a lot of the signs are pointing that way right now, but those are all assumptions. And when we get her on the phone, you need to go from the very beginning, that feeling of excitement and joy to see her, right? This is a fun surprise. Yes. Yeah, well, I mean, that's what it's supposed to be. Yes, yes.

And if you come in all accusatory, like, who are you? Why aren't you doing this? And why aren't you pick up with my phone? You're going to come off as a crazy stalker. You know what I mean? Even if you hear Drake in the background of the phone call when she answers, you need to pretend like nothing weird is happening. He did recently drop an album.

He could be around somewhere. And I heard he likes it with the lights off. So not to say. That would be so, Drake. Oh, God. And candles everywhere. Yeah. So boring.

Anyway, I don't know if any of this advice is actually helpful to you, Corey, but it's the best that we got. Well, it's good to stay positive and remember that everything's not necessarily a disaster. That's thinking like a true Canadian. Stay there. Well done. Okay. Yeah, no matter what happened, she'll apologize for it. Yeah.

Oh, right. So what they do. We'll bank on that. I'm going to start dialing her number and we'll step away and let you make your awkward call. Good luck. You don't want to dial one. Oh, yes. Dialing International.

This is weird. Okay. Just give me a second. Here we go. Oh, baby. my God, you answered the phone. Thank God, it's me. Um, what?

Hi. Hi, it's me. Yeah. Oh, no. I mean, are you, are, are you okay? I mean, I've been calling you and texting you and you haven't been answering. So I just, hi. I, what's, what's going on?

I mean, yeah, I've seen your calls and your messages. I've just been taking some time to myself after my trip down to you and stuff. Well, I just missed you. And, well, I mean, look, I guess I got to come clean. So, babe, after you spent your month with me, I loved every minute of it. And so I wanted to surprise you, and I came to Canada.

I'm here right now. Yeah, I know. Oh. You know? Yeah, I saw you on my ring camera. Okay. Well, I mean, what's going on? I mean, is there like another guy?

Like, my friends told me just to be optimistic and positive because I thought our time was so great together. No, I mean, it was great. And there is no other guy. I really did enjoy our months together, but I think you need to go back to the States. Well, why don't I need to go back to the States? I don't understand. On the plane ride back home for me, I wrote you a letter, and I mailed it once I landed,

and it should be arriving to you hopefully soon, and I just need you to go back to the States and read the letter and then you can come back to Canada if you want, but it's really important that you read the letter first. Trying to stay optimistic, but, I mean, that sounds a lot like a breakup letter. I mean, it's just, it's important for you to just go back to the States and read the letter before anything else. Well, why? because Corey we're from two different countries literally and it's just I saw how much you loved your

hometown all the home things that you have to offer and I love Canada I'm not going to leave my home and I know you're not going to leave your home so just go back home read the letter understand within the letter okay well let me propose something because I'm kind of pulling a John Cusack under your window right now. So can you maybe like just tell me what's in the letter? And we can have that whole conversation quicker. What? You're at her apartment?

Yeah, the John Cusack reference wasn't very strong. Yeah, you got to explain that a little bit. Well, yeah, I mean, I walked back over. I'm just here. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Corey, what's going on? Oh, sweetie. I think she's hearing us, Corey. Oh, yeah, she can hear us now.

I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do. And you weren't answering. So it's like a radio show and people, they call people and then people answer. And we're called, we're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Good morning. Hi. Hi.

Hey. Sorry, this is awkward. I just didn't know what to do, babe. And like, I really care about you. And, I mean, I know we'd like talked about, like, moving to the U.S. And I mean, what's wrong with the U.S.? Like, I thought we had a great time. Like, we went to a sporting event.

went to the cheesecake. I took you to Applebee's, babe. Oh, come on. I want to start chanting USA right now. You showed all our secrets. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I dare you to find one bad thing

about the United States of America. Yeah, and you show her cracker barrel? I'll never go back. It's the endless shrimp at Red Lobster. You got to get her. That's where his mistake was. Okay. Sorry, I know we're joking around a lot of AIDS.

Especially because Canada has most of those chains. Yeah, also. But Corey obviously feels very strongly about you. He's there right now. I mean, like I said, to him, he's a great guy. We had a great time, but everything I need to say is in the

letter. I'm not going to air everything out with the radio station. This is just bonkers. Like, is this what you Americans do? Like, I just, I, like, can't understand. Yeah, we do like kind of weird stuff. Yeah, we don't like privacy. And also, letters are not really

our thing, so. No, but that's nice. I mean, at least she's, like, thinking about it now instead of a year into this or two years into this where suddenly you realize she won't move. Look, babe, you're so important to me. What if we split the difference? Let's hang out in Mexico. Hey.

Ooh, I like it. Yes. I mean, Sage, you'll have a lot better tan there. Yeah. I've always thought right in the middle of United States and Canada was Mexico. Just a little detour. Bridging the gap. Remember.

Geography, not American strong suits. You know, guys, I really appreciate you trying for. and I to get back together or whatever, but honestly, like, I've already said too much that I've wanted to say already. It's in the letter. That's all I'm going to say. He needs to go back to the States and just leave me in Canada. This letter, yeah, I want to read it.

I think it's just going to be sad. Yeah, maybe I don't know. I don't like you want to open that letter. Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to reading this letter. I got to be honest. Maybe just, maybe before the letter, go get some ice cream. Put on some Drake. Yes.

I would normally go to a cheesecake factory, but that's kind of ruined now. Oh, no. Oh, man. Oh, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Dang, bro.

Okay. Well, Sage, I mean, we appreciate you answering and opening up to us and being honest. Yeah, you got to respect that. Yeah. It's classic Canadian, man. Yeah. Just super friendly. Yeah, direct to the point.

Dang, I want to be Canadian. I know. I kind of want to date Sage now. Hey. Wait a man. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. IHeart Radio is throwing it back. 20s, the decade. To the days of huge hits. And unforgettable items. A non-stop stream of the biggest and best.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Is it just me or did you get the vibe that the intimacy wasn't great between them? Oh, wow. Now you're saying it when they're off the phone. It is weird that she stayed with him for a month and then immediately after she's like, I got to dump this guy. Or it could be the other way around. It could have been so good that she's like, this is amazing, but I can't move for this. Yeah, no, but Brooke be honest. He sounded like a me first type of guy.

Where it's like, I'll get to you after I got mine. No, Jim. We were talking about this. This was not part of the conversation. Are you kidding? You told me that outside the studio. You said he sounds selfish in bed. No, I did not.

I saw your word. Oh, my God. I hate when you do this. You set me up. You tell me things off the air and then act like you didn't. I did not. You said I bet she's never even went once. I never even thought it.

I never even thought it. Oh, really? We just need to read the letter. Okay. I'm sure it's all of it. Yeah, maybe there's a diagram in the letter of which he could have done better. I hope so. I do feel bad about how that played out, though.

That was tragic to hear, but it does sound like it's probably the best for both of them moving forward. Hit a guy when he's down, Jeff. I'm just saying what you said.
